Nang Nual Riverside Pub
In the best Thai tradition, this riverside deck blurs the lines between a restaurant and a bar. Groups of friends gather around the whisky set and plates of kàp klâem (drinking food) to watch the river and the night flow by. At certain times, the bar’s blaring pop music competes for valuable air space with the Muslim call to prayer from the temple across the river.

Winks
Starting to wonder where the Thai people actually hang out? Join wannabe musicians, Kasetsart University students, the odd dah·rah (star) and any others who can’t be bothered with the Sukhumvit scene at this fun local boozer. The live bands aren’t quite as good as they are loud, but after a couple of drinks and some new friends, you’ll wish you could take the bar home with you.

Witch’s Tavern
This spacious joint claims to be an English pub, but it’s closer to a hotel lobby geared toward down-to-earth Thai professionals. Jazz and folk bands start up around 8.30pm, and at 10.30pm the house cover band takes to the stage, accepting requests from the audience. Ballads get the biggest round of applause.

Gazebo
Like an oasis above Th Khao San, this vaguely Middle Eastern–themed pub draws backpackers and locals alike with fun cover bands, a disco and fez-topped sheesha attendants. Its elevated location also appears to lend it some leniency with the city’s strict closing times.

Bull's Head
Bangkok boasts several English-style pubs but this is probably the most authentic of the lot. With friendly management and staff, and more events and activities than a summer camp, it's also a good place to meet people, particularly those of the British persuasion.
